Research and innovation services hub and a web 3.0 company, Heritors Labs Limited, in collaboration with its strategic partners, Research and Innovation Systems for Africa (RISA) Fund, the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI), UK International Development, and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has organised a three-day practical workshop on patent drafting and filing skills for scientists, researchers and innovators in Accra.
The workshop underscored the company's commitment to enabling researchers and innovators to maximise value for their inventions and innovations by acquiring the requisite patents and intellectual property rights to cover their creative works.
Derrydean Dadzie, Chief Executive Officer, Heritors Labs in his remarks said, "The gap in patenting knowledge is one of the key barriers limiting the full potential of research outcomes.Without robust patent support, incredible inventions risk becoming mere whispers in history, gathering dust on shelves.
Researchers often find themselves caught in the cycle of 'publish or perish,' -where scholarly work is focused on professional advancement rather than impact.
